Europe's business jet industry under pressure to become more sustainable.

Europe's business jet sector is holding its flagship annual conference this week as it faces a possible decrease in flights due to commercial aviation rebound and increasing calls for sustainability.

The European Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (EBACE), opens on Tuesday in Geneva.

The industry has been scrutinised in Europe for their role producing outsized emissions for global elites.

According to environmental group Transport and Environment, CO2 emissions from private jets in Europe grew by 31% between 2005 and 2019 and pressure from climate activists is increasing.
